Frank J. Palumbo

(February 14, 1948 – October 13, 2022)

Frank was born and raised in Bronx, New York.

In July 1966, he met and fell in love with a woman named Ann,

she was the love of his life and they later married in 1970.

They went on to have two loving children Nick (1972) and Christine (1974).

Frank was a true family man, provider and protector.

Frank was a strong man who in true Bronx fashion believed in his word and a handshake.

Over the years our little family of four expanded…

In April 2004, Frank became a Poppy to his granddaughter Gianna…

Then our family grew even more…

Frank gained an amazing son-in-law, Tom and a loving daughter- in- law, Michelle…

Our family continued to grow…

In March 2017, he became a poppy for the second time to his granddaughter Jossie.

Over the years Frank held many titles from "Frankie Cigarettes" to "Real Estate Appraiser"

to "Husband" and "Father" but his most prized title by far was "Poppy".

His two grandchildren, Gianna and Jossie not only lit up his world, they were his world.

He was the world's best poppy there ever was and there wasn't anything he wouldn't do

For either of his granddaughters.

Frank was devoted, loving, kind, funny and very generous to his family.

His love and spirit will live in our memories and in our hearts.

We love you always and forever.

We hope to see you in our dreams …until we meet again.
